Video Editing Internship

Most of the work is cutting video for different outputs: content for social platforms, brand films, corporate videos, event coverage and digital campaign pieces. Short vertical edits for Reels and Shorts, along with promotional pieces, are part of this.

Around the edit itself, the intern layers in music, effects, captions, graphics and simple motion work when a piece calls for it. They also help with grading colour, cleaning up audio, rendering final files and checking quality. Keeping raw footage, project files and other media sorted and backed up is part of the job too.

The intern works with filmmakers, content creators and the Creative Team to understand what each project is meant to achieve and how its story should be told. They keep track of the deadlines they are given, accept feedback in good spirit, deliver on time, and stay current with editing trends, storytelling formats and what suits each platform.

• Education: you should have finished a degree or diploma recently, in animation, multimedia, mass communication, media, film or a related area.
• Software: some hands-on skill with Adobe Premiere Pro, or comparable editing software, is needed. Premiere Pro is the preferred one.
• Craft basics: a grasp of story, pacing, composition, sound design and post-production workflow.
• Outlook: a real interest in cinema, online content, creators and where new media is heading, plus careful attention to detail, readiness to learn and a constructive response to feedback.

The internship is full time and based onsite in Mumbai, with the Creative Team as the reporting line. The post says strong performance could lead to a full-time position.

• It helps to build a short reel with at least one vertical, short-form edit next to a longer brand or corporate-style piece.
• Be ready to explain your choices on pacing, music and sound in your own edits, since the role touches storytelling and sound design.
• Show that you can finish a piece: a sample with graded colour, cleaned audio and captions says more than a rough cut.
• Keep your project folders tidy and be able to describe how you sort and back up footage.
• Watch current Reels and Shorts regularly and be able to point out what makes the better ones work.
